Nonsense-mediated decay mechanism is a possible modifying factor of clinical outcome in nonsense cd39 beta thalassemia genotype [PDF]

, 2012
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a surveillance system to prevent the synthesis of non-functional proteins. In β-thalassemia, NMD may have a role in clinical outcome.

Potent Liver‐Tropic mRNA Lipid Nanoparticles: ApoE‐Mediated Delivery Through a Low‐Density Lipoprotein Receptor Independent Uptake Mechanism

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Helper and ionizable lipids play a crucial role in determining ApoE binding and subsequent liver tropism and LDLR‐mediated uptake. Ionizable lipids primarily govern the LDLR‐independent uptake pathway. This complementary interplay between lipid components ultimately governs LNP delivery performance and therapeutic efficacy in the liver.

Chronic hyperplastic anemia as an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic lesions: a lesson from thalassemia intermedia [PDF]

, 2010
Introduction. Cardiovascular involvement represents a well-known complication and the primary cause of mortality, both in transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia major (β-TM) and in transfusion-independent beta thalassemia intermedia (β-TI ...

Discovery of a Novel DNMT1 Inhibitor with Improved Efficacy in Treating β‐Thalassemia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Context of Research: β‐thalassemia affects millions worldwide. DNMT inhibitors are effective HbF‐inducers that benefit patients with β‐thalassemia. Existing DNMT inhibitors are not approved for β‐thalassemia treatment due to dose‐limiting toxicity.What We Find: DMT207 traps DNMT1 into helix‐kinked inactive conformation and enhances its interaction with

Loss of SOCS1 in Donor T Cells Exacerbates Intestinal GVHD by Driving a Chemokine‐Dependent Pro‐Inflammatory Immune Microenvironment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
T cell‐specific Socs1 knockout leads to inflammatory differentiation of CD8+ T cells, prompting the STAT1/2 complex to drive the activation of Ccl5, Ccr5, and Cxcr3, and promoting the skewing of monocytes toward a pro‐inflammatory M1 macrophage lineage.

Effect of Red Blood Cell Transfusion on Inflammatory and Angiogenic Pathways in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic inflammatory state, characterized by increased plasma values of inflammatory and angiogenic proteins. Although red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is known to have immunomodulatory effects in other conditions, its potential effects on the inflammatory state in SCD remain largely unknown.

Effects of vitamin e and zinc supplementation on antioxidants in beta thalassemia major patients [PDF]

, 2011
Objective: In beta thalassemic patients, tissue damage occurs due to oxidative stress and it happens because of the accumulation of iron in the body. This study was conducted to determine the effect of zinc and vitamin E supplementation on antioxidant ...
